Out & About
June has it all, from toe-tapping music to food festivals that celebrate the best of the Garden State. Check out the new Out & About calendar for everything going on in June. Here’s a taste:
Music: The Appel Farm Arts & Music Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with musical guests including They Might Be Giants, Suzanne Vega and The Smithereens, among others.
The Southern Shore Music Festival features a long list of acts including Dr. John, David Bromberg & the Angel Band, Jim Lauderdale, Robert Hazard, and Final Vinyl.
Under the baton of principal conductor Jed Gaylin, the Bay-Atlantic Symphony returns as the orchestra-in-residence at the Cape May Music Festival.
If you’re into vintage rock and roll (The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, U2) you won’t want to miss the popular Fakefest at the Deck at Trump Marina, where tribute bands pump up the volume over one ear-splitting weekend.
Food: The 22nd annual Red, White, and Blueberry Festival in Hammonton features blueberry pie-eating contests, blueberry bake-offs, and homemade treats.
The Annual Baymen’s Seafood and Music Festival at Tuckerton Seaport offers delicious New Jersey fresh clams, crabs and shrimp, and beer from New Jersey breweries.

Events: Bring your inner DaVinci to the Atlantic City Chalk Challenge & Craft Show, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Create a masterpiece in chalk on the sidewalk and enjoy many hand-made items for sale. Proceeds benefit after-school programs in Atlantic County.
